The Lily at Long Branch.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. 26.-Mrs.
Langtry has captured and monopolized
the observation at the Branch. She be-
gan a week ago by hiring one of the two
gorgeous villas owned by Phil DAILY, the
gambler who runs the Philadelphia Club.
Phil built those houses several years seago
for residences for his own and his
brother families. Into his own he put
a private chapel, like a miniature church,
with an altar, where his wife, a pious
lady, might say her prayers. The dec
orations, as well as the architecture, were
unique and gaudy. Phil lives here this
season on the immense profits of his
gambling establishment, but his brother
has not occupied the other house this
year, and Mrs. Langtry rented it. The
price she is said to have paid was 81, 900
for August and September, and the
figure is reasonable. considering that the
premises are luxuriously furnished.
Mrs. Langtry arrived like a circus. Her
wardrobe and other belongings filled
twenty-four trunks, and along with them
were nine labelled IF, Gebbard, New
York" Accompany her? Rather. He
is not only domiciled with her at the
DAILY villa, but the public rarely sees her
without him. The mutual admiration
and devotion of the pair are conspicuous.
They 60 to Monmouth park on three af-
ternoons a week to see Freddy's horses
beaten; they 20 to the moor concerts at
the West End, and also there occasion
ally drink wine with Larry Jerome and
other fellows: and frequently they waltz
IN the hotel parlor, observed by eager
throngs of men, women and children.
The manner in which the people iostle
and crowd to get a sight of the Lily
doesn't look polite; and yet, as she is
there for exhibition, why should they
deny themselves and her the pleasure OF
staring2
Her acting on these occasions is as good
as anything she does on the stage. By
no gesture or vince does she betray her
knowledge that she and Freddy are not
off somewhere in the wilderness with no
human eyes on them, She is self pos
sessed, calm and intensely ladylike in de
pertinent. Does the gaze of the multi
tude really annoy her? | guess not; else
why does she submit herself to it? She
goes to battle where there is the biggest
crowd, which of course nultlplies as soon
as the word spreads that she is there. In
the surf she wears a conventional suit of
blue flannel, the blouse coming to her
knees, and the trousers puckering at her
ankles. On these occasions she shows to
good advantage, because her figure is first
rate, except for large hands and feet, and
her complexion stands daylight and the
oceans glare almirably. Discussion of
the question whether she is superatlvely
beautiful wakes warm. My own opinion
is hat while her features are not fine, she
is so clean, healthy and fair, that she may
be called very pretty.

The City OF Tangicr.

Tangier. as seen from the bay, is ccr-
tainly beautiful. The white, flat rooted
houses; the tall, graceful towers of the
mosques; the date palms rising majesti-
cally, their tufts Of evergreen leaves re-
sembling crests; the quaint century old
Kasba, the fortress walls gray and worn
and broken with age, etc, all present a
pleasing picture TO the eye. But when
you land, what change! The white
houses are sadly in need Of cleaning. the
mosques need renovating, the kasba loses
its charm, and the streets arc SO narrow
and SO dirty that to call them filthy only
half describes their condition. In a dis

a Cure for Nightmare.

A fertile Drained man Of this city, who
cannot sleep on his hack without con
juring up series Of distressing figures
and situations, has hit upon a singularly
effective plan to prevent getting into that
position through the night. The con
triyGnce consists OF tack driven through
a board. The plank is fastened to his
back loosely. and when he turns.over from
his side the tack is driven into his back
and he at once springs up in the air and
awakcs when he comes down. The first
night he bounded up a distance Of eight
feet, but it awoke him almost imme-
diatcly.
lie is getting more used TO the scnsa-
lion now and rarely jumps over three feet
when the tack strikes him. -Manchestcr

A Queen Who l. a Conjurer.

But few persons arc aware Of the fact
that Queen Marie Hcnricttc, Of Belgium,
is one of the cleYerest conjuccrs in Europe.
When in 1882 the famous magician, Pro-
fessor Hermann, arrived at BrNssels on
his way 10 the sea baths at Ostende, one
of the queens chamberlains called at his
hotel and inquired if he was the same
Professor Hermann who had formerly
given slcight Of hand performances at the
palace Of the queens father, the Arch
duke Palatine, of Austria. On ascertain
ing this TO be fact he informed him that
her majesty would be glad 10 receive him
in private audience the next day. The
queen received him most kindly, and after
talking of old times expires, ed wish 10
learn sleight of hand. Professor Hermann
gladly consented to teach her his tricks,
and during the following four weeks he
spent daily several hours in initiating her
as an adept Of the black art.
OF course these lessons took place with
locked doors, the professor having made a
point of insisting that nobody else should
be present besides his royal pupil and him
self. The queen displayed remarkable
talent in acquiring the art, and many
were the tricks which She subsequently
practiced on her family and attendants.
Professor Hermann, who died recently
leaving an enormous fortune, absolutely
refused TO accept any remuneration for
his services; the queen, however, met the
difficulty by sending n magnificent brace
let and a pair Of diamond earrings 90 the
professors wife. Only a short time be-
fore his death he received an autograph
letter from the queen congratulating him
